Infinity Train Tabletop RPG: Character Sheets! (WIP)
Added 2020-01-20 21:05:48 +0000 UTC
Hey All! Just to give a little update of my general creative work online, I am currently developing a tabletop RPG adaptation of the Cartoon Network show, Infinity Train. I posted a little bit about adapting the show into an RPG here, but to answer a couple of questions:
- This RPG uses the Powered by the Apocolypse Game System, which is the basis for a number of tabletop RPGs.
- This system would allow players to take up the role of a passenger or a denizen of the train (including the train's robots and reflections).
- Players would start out only being able to do a series of basic moves, as well as a couple of moves that are specific to the type of character they play (I.E a passenger that is a teenager might have a move that involves their angst, a young child might be able to befriend creatures more easily, and an animal denizen can more easily communicate or command other animal-based denizens), the result is very open-ended actions that can help address the infinite number of situations can come against.
- A big element of these character sheets is the character's backstory. Other PBtA games make this more optional, but because the train examines specific parts of the past, seeing a character's past and secrets will be vital for helping them get off the train.
- The events of the RPG are meant to occur after the end of season 2, but any conductors (the Game Master) can set it earlier in the train's history.
- The basic design document for the system is close to completion and will be released for playtesting after being formally adapted into a guide.
- I will be releasing all documents for the game on this patreon page free to download! You do not have to be a patron to download, but any financial support that can be thrown my way will be appreciated.
That's all I have for now, but be sure to follow this account, my twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, and Youtube for more updates!
